On the IR gun, it was in the ~$65 range on sale, as their economy
model, I don't remember who the internet vendor is, I can get you the
make and model if you need it... But just do a search, lots of sources
and prices... The little bit I have used it I have been satisfied with
the readings - nothing rings my 'no-way, Jose!' meter, so far...

Any info on the IR gun would be appreciated, sounds, like right one for what
I want to use it (check the loading coils etc.)

Thanks! Wal's station rocks, even with this rusty OF. I put some pictures on
our Tesla web site www.TeslaRadio.org, click on PHOTOS and W8LRL. It will be
our goal to beat it from N2EE. We just came back from some slave labor of
love, clearing more brush in freezing windy WX, leveling the field for RF
:-) Waitng for the swamp to freeze so we can walk around and fix the
antennas.

73 Yuri, K3BU

He has quite a receiving system... makes my active array look puny..
I did not get out to the radio station yesterday... I will today and
will TRY to remember to make note of the IR Gun for you.. I am
satisfied with it...

ORION problems !?! I hope not... I have a brand new one as the #1
radio... It seemed to work well in CQWW CW.. As a SO SB 80M LP entry I
worked 69 countries, a new high for me from the RF hole of Michigan...
The score will not be impressive as I made zero effort to run stations,
instead cruised the band for multipliers as a test of my new antenna
arrays for 80M this year...
Last nite I kept waking up thinking about 160 antennas and I can feel a
new plan coming together in the hidden recesses of my twisted mind...
Why oh why, can't my brain do this in June? Gawd I hate climbing
towers in blowing snow and 20 degrees...
